Awesome Giveaway!!!

Head on over to V and Co. and check out this awesome giveaway! 

7, yes 7 patterns are up for grabs....not just any patterns Kati Cupcake patterns! 

Hurry, it ends Thursday 10am MST!!!

I heart progress!

I am finally quilting my Old Red Barn Quilt-along quilt!

Can you believe it?  I can't.

I didn't think I would ever get it done.  I seem to have lost my

sewing mojo.  At least the part that likes to get in gear and finish things!

Here is the pieced back.  It is my first try at it and I love it!

I am really loving how the aqua thread stands out on the white.

Yum!

Although I am so close to finishing it, I still am not working on it right now...*sigh*.

My mind is full of ideas and I want to get started on them so I don't forget them!

• 2 PIFs finished
• fall table runner (inspiration: twiddletails)
• finish borders for zigzag quilt 
• design a quilt for my MIL for Christmas using some leftover she gave me
• Christmas wall hanging using The Caroler charm pack

***What are you working on or dreaming about?***

Happy Sewing!

Freindship Bag Swap

I loved making this little bag!

It is sooo cute and easy to do. Head over to Rachel's blog to get the tutorial!


I also made a little (big) pincushion and a card from leftovers! I hope my swap partner likes it!

I am really enjoying all the swaps that are going on from the
Quilting Gallery. If you aren't signed up for one,
head over there and sign up. There seems to
always be one going : )


I had some leftover fabric that I mis-cut from my D9P
table runner that was screaming at me to become
a little bag as well....

I really like them...I quilted them with "boo!" in white thread. Now
all I need is a desk to sit them on and fill them with candy.

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Happy Sewing!

It is that time of year again!! Time for the Bloggers Quilt Festival!

I had so much fun last festival that I just had to enter it again.

Hop on over to Amy's Blog and check out all the awesome quilts!

This quilt had a lot of firsts for me...

First applique...

First time using stichery in a quilt...

(polka dot bindings ROCK!!)

First FMQ that I was really HAPPY with!

I wish I still had it, but its gone to a new home! I am working on quilting my Old Red Barn Co. quilt along quilt....pictures coming soon!

sick.

I am not feeling so good...have a terrible cough, but I think I am on the mend!

Before I got sick, I did manage to turn our old ottoman from this:
beige and stainy

To this!
I found this awesome fabric that almost matches my couch at the "The Cloth Barn" in

Goldsboro, NC.

I about fell over when I saw it!
So this ottoman went from being just a normal ottoman to....

an awesome storage space!!! Thanks to the hubby!!

(seen here without her hinge...she is complete now)

I think it looks pretty awesome!

Here's to feeling better soon!

Good Ole Summertime Mini Quilt Swap

I just put the last stitches in my mini quilt for the swap hosted by the Quilting Gallery. I really don't want to mail it out...I will be making another one of these for my mini quilt wall very soon! What a good way to spend a super rainy holiday....How did you spend your holiday? Hope you had fun!!

I WON!!

I won a giveaway!!!! A super awesome panel and 9 fat quarter giveaway!! Kristina over at Sew Domestic was giving this away and I was the luck winner!! I can't wait to cut into it and make an awesome quilt for my boys...they are already drooling over the fabric!!

Then I got my awesome little "Good Ol Summertime" mini quilt Anita (neetermo on flickr). Isn't so awesome? She was inspired by a sunflower blooming out her window. I really love it!

Look at at that awesome quilting....Its beautiful!

Here is a sneak peak at my zig zag quilt that I am doing over at the Old Red Barn Co. quilt along on flickr....if you haven't joined us- what are you waiting for??? We are starting wonky log cabins with none other than John (a.k.a.Quilt Dad)!!!

Time to sew all those blocks together....see ya later!

MoMo Purse....FINALLY!

Well, I finally finished my Wonderland by Momo purse! I really liked how it turned out....and I even put in that zippered center pocket I was asking everyone about!! yay! I used the tutorial from Artsy-Crafty Babe's Phoebe Bag free pattern....it was awesomely easy and very well written!

Here is the inside...its a bit too small so I have already bought some more fabric to make the next bag....It won't be Wonderland sadly, cuz I simply can't find anymore!
After seeing my purse, my Granny wanted me to make her one...the below pic is what I came up with...I just kinda winged it. I measured her current purse and made it that size plus 2 inches and put all her current pockets on the inside of this as well. I hope she liked it...its a little boxy, but I think it will loosen up a bit over time.

After doing this bag with a zipper closure, I think all my bags will be that way...it wasn't that hard and I really liked how neat and tidy the top stitching turned out to be doing this way.

Sorry about the camera phone pic, but it is at its new home now...away from my camera!

I have lots more to share with ya'll, but I think I will stretch it out a few posts...next post will be about winning! and minis! Yay!!
